When she was a child, she drifted around.
Although it was hard.
Her mother was gentle and virtuous.
Her father was kind and generous. That was the most beautiful existence for her.
When they first met, she was teased.
He stepped forward to save her.
She secretly had feelings for him, but their identities were different.
She could only silently hide this affection.
He married a beautiful wife.
She also put her thoughts to rest.
It was just that …
Sometimes people couldn't have that little hope.
Once there was, some evil thoughts would be like the claws of the devil.
In this life,
It slowly climbed up your originally pure heart.
It eroded it.
When she woke up from her dream.
All around her were disdainful words and disdainful eyes. She couldn't bear it, so she let herself live in a dream.
That way, she seemed to be able to reduce her sins and get forgiveness from others.
In her life, she didn't do many bad things.
Only that one time.
It was the most poisonous.
She hurt her true love, tarnished her feelings, and completely destroyed the kindness that others had for her.
But what hurt her the most was her father, who had raised her since she was a child and treated her like his own daughter.
Starting over, she had nothing else to ask for. She only wanted to have a clear conscience.

"Lingshan, are you really not going to Master Ning's wedding banquet with me?" Guan Sheng took out the half-new clothes in the wardrobe to wear. When he saw his daughter sitting quietly embroidering, he asked again.
Siyang finished the embroidery in her hand and looked up at him, but she shook her head. "There are so many people. Father, it's enough for you to go alone. I want to finish this painting and send it to Feng Chao Huang in two days. I want to see if Boss Ning is satisfied. If possible, I can buy you some good wine to drink with the money I get."
Guan Sheng looked at her serious appearance and secretly shook his head and sighed. How could he not understand this silly girl's thoughts? But even so, he couldn't do anything about it. Now that Master Ning was married, he only hoped that his daughter could be more open-minded. The Ning family had a big business, and they couldn't reach it.
Since his daughter didn't want to go, Guan Sheng went to ask for the wedding wine himself. Before he left, he smiled and said, "When father comes back, I'll bring you a wedding cake to eat."
"Got it. Control yourself and don't drink too much."
After Guan Sheng left, Siyang put down her needlework and embroidery frame. She rested her chin on her hand and stared at the green mountains and rivers outside the window in a daze.
Lingshan was a posthumous child. Her biological father had passed away early, leaving her mother as a weak woman. When she was alone and without anyone to rely on, she met Guan Sheng, who had retired from the Jianghu. Guan Sheng had long been tired of the bloody life in the Jianghu. After meeting Lingshan's mother, he had an idea and the two became husband and wife.
After Lingshan's mother gave birth to her, she passed away a few years later, leaving behind the father and daughter pair. However, Guan Sheng had always treated Lingshan like his own daughter and doted on her a lot. His bloody early life made the retired Guan Sheng especially cherish his peaceful life. Lingshan could be said to be the hope of his life.
Taking care of the young Lingshan, Guan Sheng couldn't continue to wander around. So he built a few bamboo houses on the outskirts of the capital and settled down. He relied on his carpentry to make a living.
His life was originally peaceful, but …
Guan Sheng's carpentry was pretty good. The embroidery frames, embroidery frames, and other work in the largest embroidery shop in the capital, "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", were all made by him. Lingshan had followed her father around since she was young. When she was young, she met the young master of the "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", Ning Maochun. After several encounters, she developed feelings for him.
However, the difference in status between the two was like heaven and earth. She and the young master of the Ning family had no future, so she didn't dare to reveal her feelings.
Today was Young Master Ning's wedding day. When Ling Shan found out about it, she also gave up on this idea. But who would have thought that those things would happen later.
"Ai, they are quarrelsome lovers. You... are too stubborn. You make one mistake after another." Siyang shook her head. She lowered her head and looked at the half-finished embroidery on the table. Instead, she began to think about the future.
Lingshan's greatest guilt was her father, Guan Sheng. Although he wasn't her biological father, he treated her better than any other father. But because of her, Guan Sheng suffered countless hardships and lost hope in life. His hands were once again stained with blood, and he betrayed his own disciple. So, in this life, she only wished for her father to be well.
When the sun was setting, Guan Sheng came home with a pot of wine and a bag of snacks.
"My dear daughter, come and have a taste. Ning Mansion's wedding banquet is really extravagant. All the wedding cakes are snacks from Zhang's Time-Honored Brand." Guan Sheng happily pulled Siyang to sit at the table and put the paper bag in front of her.
Men were careless. Guan Sheng also knew that his daughter liked Master Ning a little, but he thought that since she wasn't happy, he should coax her more. He didn't want to put the wedding cakes in front of his daughter. Wouldn't that make her even more sad? Fortunately, Siyang didn't care.
"Before I left, Boss Ning also gave me a pot of good wine. He said it was Nu'er Hong." Putting the wine pot in his hand on the table, Guan Sheng smelled the wine and said happily, "This wine is produced by Yuquan Manor. It is said that even the emperor sometimes asks Yuquan Manor to offer a few meals. So, this wine must be good."
Siyang didn't disappoint Guan Sheng's kindness. After opening the paper bag, she took a bite of the snack.
"How is it?"
Seeing Guan Sheng's expectant eyes, she also gave him face: "Well, it's really good."
"I knew it." Guan Sheng was relieved in his heart. Then, holding the wine pot, he smiled and said, "I want to bury this pot of Nu'er Hong. When you find a husband and get married, I will dig it out and open it."
Si Yang was stunned when she heard this. Then, amused, she was also touched. Guan Sheng didn't have many hobbies. He just liked to drink a little wine. However, his family wasn't rich, so he only drank inferior quality wine. This jar of Nu 'er Red was naturally a good wine for those who liked good wine. He was reluctant to part with it.
"Thank you, father." Siyang smiled.
"Huh?" Guan Sheng was slightly surprised and looked at her.
Reaching out to rewrap the paper bag, Siyang snorted softly: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Lingshan, you …" Guan Sheng didn't want to directly expose his daughter's thoughts.
Siyang pretended not to know: "What about me? It's already dark. You still have to rush work tomorrow. I'm still waiting for father to save up more dowry for me."
Guan Sheng was now sure that his daughter had really thought it through. He immediately slapped his thigh and laughed: "Good, good, good. Lingshan, don't worry. Even if father doesn't have any ability, I will definitely save up well and let you get married in a dignified manner."
In the morning, Siyang made breakfast and woke Guan Sheng up to eat.
"My daughter has grown up. She is really becoming more and more filial." Guan Sheng chewed on a steamed bun. His heart was unbearably warm. He was very glad that he had married Lingshan's mother. Only then could he have such a good daughter.
Siyang served the porridge in the kitchen. When she sat down, she looked outside: "Father, did you make all those things outside for Seeking Phoenix?"
"Yes, I made them a few days ago. But when I sent them over, I ran into the second master of the Ning family. He picked on a few problems, so I took them back and fixed them."
